I got my first job through a family friend. But I got my second, third and forth job on my own. Now making 6 figures I know that a stutter is a set back but will not stop me from climbing the corpor...

Thank you. I'll try focusing on the job and less my stutter....

I felt like garbage like other stutters do, but I managed. My first job (while in high school) I didn't have speak much, I was shelving books. I mostly had to talk to people who wanted to know where...

With my interview I didn't do anything to prepare for if I stutter, and I didn't say a thing about it. My philosophy was if they don't hire because I have a stutter, than they won't keep me when they ...

How did your stutter affect getting your first job?

I have a job where I have to talk to people face to face the entire day. My speech is not improving and I'm not feeling any better in terms of anxiety....

I'm 32. When I was 17, I got a job working rides at Six Flags. I was working in a position where I was forced to talk to thousands of people a day. Eventually, I was promoted to the position that sp...

To make things worse I just got a new job in a very open kitchen. So my station is connected to a 5 top with bar stools and I'll be like 3-4 feet from guests. So during service I'll have to make some ...

I stutter and my co-workers and I use IM all the time, even though they are only a few feet from me. I don't think anything of it....

I wouldn't read too much into it. I Slack my co-workers all the time, even when they're sitting next to me. Half the time it's so I remember we talked. But if it bugs ya, just get in the habit of wal...

Idk. Maybe people are using slack more because it's a good way to communicate. I think the best way to get to the bottom of this is to ask some of your coworkers directly....

Need a Skype mate

Need a Skype mate My stutter is social anxiety-influenced. I'm fluent when I'm with my close pals but fumble for words when I talk to strangers, have a point to prove, or answer questions. I'm aspiri...

I'll never be comfortable with embarrassment. I've been at an I.T. service desk job where I have to talk all fucking day face to face for a few months now. I still find stuttering to be humiliating....

I have been confronted a few times, though not in a bad way. My direct supervisor asked me questions about my stutter and whether or not it would affect my job performance. I've had very few negat...

I can't believe I haven't thought of it until recently. I was advised to do so by my family, but I didn't believe I was right for the job. I've been working as a temp since January, so I thought it wo...

Congrats on taking that step forward and doing something you would otherwise try and avoid! I'm 28, and I've been blocking since I was four as well. I am now a test engineer for a ship building comp...
